Abstract
The incompatibility of American liberal education and multiculturalism ground this qualitative study. Given this assertion and that teaching and learning is central to the liberal educational mission, we explore faculty perceptions of the relationship between multiculturalism and liberal educational pedagogy. The findings of this study suggest that the lack of coherence between institutional mission and multiculturalism, and the variety of epistemological positions, characterize faculty views of teaching and learning at a liberal arts college struggling to attain pluralistic community.
